Most of the time when there is enough light and I do need sharp images all round (F8 or more) I use the kit lens. It is only when the light is low or you need to isolate the subject from background that the F1.8 lenses come into play. Both the 35mm F1.8DX and the 50mm F1.8 D are relatively inexpensive lenses, around 100-150 dollars each, so there is no justification in having both. Both the primes are sharper than the kit zoom, though that will not matter much if you are not printing beyond 8x10.So as suggested, use your kit lens at both 35mm and at 50mm and evaluate the images and then decide.</blockquote>
